Israel Backs Joint Airstrikes On Syria Regime

Decision taken by US and backed by UK, France shows ‘commitment’ of countries to combat chemical weapons, says Netanyahu.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday backed the joint airstrikes carried out by the U.S., U.K. and France on Syria in response to a suspected chemical attack.

In a written statement, Netanyahu said the decision taken by the U.S. and backed by the U.K. and France shows that the commitment of these countries to combat chemical weapons is not limited to the declaration.

It should be clear to Assad that his reckless efforts to acquire and use weapons of mass destruction, his disregard for international law and his provision of a base for Iran and its proxies endanger Syria, said Netanyahu.

"Israel gave full support to President [Donald] Trump's decision to stand against the use and spread of chemical weapons one year ago," he said, adding: "There is no change in Trump's determination and Israel's support in that issue."
